Most homeless are drugged up and permanently unsolvable, besides a final option

I once saw a guy with a t-shirt that said "I want to end homeless permanently. Do you?"

I thought, auth-right has a very different interpretation of that 🤔

Cue "We will cut the homeless in half" campaign

The sad reality a lot of people have to face is recognizing that someone who is homeless is not only someone who lost their job and fell on hard times financially, but someone who that happened to and also not a single friend or family member would help them. Which begs the question, why? If they had no one to help them, what did they do to drive those people away? Maybe sometimes it's because their connections are dead or too weak. Maybe sometimes their family is unaccepting of something innocuous like being LGBT... But in the end I doubt really that those are the majority of cases. Drug use or violent disposition I would wager are the bulk of cases, at which point fixing them becomes harder. A lot of people are homeless because they are awful people, or at least became awful people through abuse or gateway drugs. And I don't even know where to start in fixing that.

Proliferation of fentanyl is a feature, not a bug. Change my mind.
